The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-01-01

''To this end Christ both died, and
rose, and revived, viz: that he might be
Lord BOTH of the dead and of the liv-
ing"
%. What is the object of punish
ment ?
"To produce repentance and reforma-
tion."
%. Will that result be achieved 2?
Yes. Thus saith the Lord, the
word has gone forth and shall not re-
turn unto me void, that unto me every
knee shall bow and every tongue shall
swear, surely shall say, in the Lord have
l righteousness and strength"
"a. How shall we characterize the re .
cent statement in a Missionary Conven-
tiOn that THE church has no time to
waste over dead pagans"?
''It was hard saying, callous with all
the cruel Indifference of Calvinism.''
25. Is it probable that the Heavenly
Father and his angels are less interest
ed in the sinful who enter other worlds,
than good missionaries are in the hea-
then who dwell in this world
No; the divine love persistently
seeks the unsaved and bids us follow
his example"

"HARDENING PHARAOH'S HEART
BY REV. EDGAR LEAvITT.
Oshkosh, Wis

Genesis iv, q and following chapters:
Probably there is no passage in the
Bible which has raised more perplexity
from a moral point of view than this
with the common understanding of it.
1t seemed terrible thing that God
should have determined beforehand,
that when Pharaoh, subdued by his
atiiictions, should be willing to let Israel
go, that he would interfere arbitrarily
and harden his heart, actually cast a
spell of stubbornness upon Pharaoh
which he could not resist, and then
punish him for that stubbornness which
he had caused and send new and more
/ terrible plaques, finally bringing upon
him such dire calamity, y,-and all for
| the sake Of instruction in the ways of
| the Lord to all coming generations;
an instruction, too, that has naturally
set all thinking minds, and just minds
to champiOniug and plying Pharaoh
and trying to excuse the Lord and end
ing with the substantial confession that
the attempt was a vain one.
Many are the attempts that have
been made to reconcile this passage
with natural ideas Of justice, and all
have ever yet seen were failures.

pregatioual preacher Of the City TEN

in their education, as the Convention
shall designate and approve.
In this way would not others-inti-
mate friends in the same classes-who
are not obliged by this provision to go
out as workers in these new fields, be
encouraged to do SO, and thus gather to
themselves an experience-which like
the German artisan, shall give them
the title of good workmen," fully

tion offered them in the future We

Total Non-Chrstians. s............ L, ,OS6 992 500
Now, reader, we know that this vast
number, more than two-thirds of all
that live, do not become Christians in
this world. Were they created in vain?
Were they created to writhe and roast
and blaspheme in hell for all eternity
for the sins of this short life? Let the
reader ponder on the following:
A Brief Catechism on Salvation and Future
Probation.
/. What is the first great doctrine of
the Christian religion?
"There is one God, the Father, of
whom are all things"
2. How should God be regarded by US?
"God should be regarded as the Crea-
tor and unchanging friend of every hu-
man SOUL"
g. What does the word God mean?
1.-The word God means good He is
infinite goodness"
49,: Gods good. unto all and his. tender
mercies are over all his works. ."-Ps.
cxlv, 8.
5. Being goodness what does God al
ways desire :?
"God always desires and will always
desire the highest welfare of his crea-
tures.''
6. Has he the means and the dispOsi-
tion to do what he desires? ?
II am God and there is none like me,
declaring the end from the beginning,
saying my counsel shall stand and l
will do all my pleasure is. XVI, 10.
7. What is his will concerning men ?
"He will have all men to be saved and
to come to a knowledge of the truth. -
I Tim. ii, l..
s. Why does God correct his disobe-
| dient children ?
because he would teach them obe-
/ dience and virtue"
8, How long will he so correct them?
Until repentance is effected and
obedience secured"
TO- Would there be anything of love
or goodness in Furnishing any person
/ forever
"Such punishment would only defeat
love and goodness" p"
II. Future Probation.
II. Are all men saved in this world
"No person is perfect; no person is
fully saved in this world"
II, Does the love of God for such un-
saved person change at death
The love of God for all his children
is the same in all worlds"
13 Does the death of human body
change or destroy any power of hu
man soul
mo soul, nor any faculty of any soul
is destroyed by death"
II. If then every faculty remains il
the soul, what prevents such souls from
repenting of sin after death
Nothing"
Is. Is the soul just as precious to Go,
after death as before ?
"Yes, always"
Is. If because of his love the Fathe
sent the Son to save a sinful world
where does that love change to hate o
neglect?
Nowhere"
II. Ii there was ever a Saviour of tn
world will there continue to be one
Yes; Jesus Christ, the same yester
day, to-day and forever
IS. What was the difference between
Jesus and the priesthood
The priests under the law did no
continue by reason Of death; but thi
man continueth ever. Heb. vii, % p
80 For what does Christ Jesus con
tinue ever?
TO carry on his work continuousl
and to save souls in this world and j.
the world to come"
20. Is future probation a ground @
hope for the salvation Of all men?
Future probation exhibits Chris
. and his angels as the great mjssionarie
for time aud eternity, and forbjds "a
limit to the work ot redemption"
n. Did the Apostle Paul undelstan
that the work OF Christ must end wit

before the year 1900 are being remembered and
celebrated in turn, 20 In little more than year
